The short version

  • Only Citymapper has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Citymapper citymapper's own App Store listing states live transit and turn-by-turn features work only in a named list of specific cities (New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and dozens of other listed cities), not globally, per the developer's own description.; Dataloy dataloy has been rebranded as Sedna VMS ("Sedna Trade Voyage Management System (Dataloy)"); its own site publishes no pricing and every plan action is a Request a demo button, per Sedna's own site.
  • They diverge on capability: Citymapper covers Multi-modal routing, Dataloy covers Voyage planning.
